@@RobotronOG I agree on re-signing Kelsey. They also need to swap away NaLyssa Smith and try to get Satou Sabally from the Wings to fill Smith's lineup spot
Caitlin is such a special person and human being. Not calling out DijoNai was an act of kindness that will not be reciprocated. Best wishes to the Fever and 🤞 bringing this round back to Gainbridge. ♥
CC first word is like AAHHH... Kelsey Mitchell would say that at every start of her interview.. They are well bond together and pick up one another behavior.. I love that.
I saw a video of hers that was very interesting. I didn't know Aliyah was from the Virgin Islands and that was her dream. She is also a wonderful person and is already in a position to no longer need money.
They will keep hitting her with the flagrant fouls until she speaks up for herself. Im starting to blame her at this point for allowing it. Dirtiest league of sports i have ever seen
@@vacantSuburbia I agree with you, but…..I think she knows that she can’t blow up and call out how bad this league is. Sponsors look down on negativity, I’m sure. I’m sure she WANTS to, but by the time she gets to the reporters, she’s had time to cool off. And THAT is why she says the poke was accidental. Another bullshit “basketball play”!!
There you have it: “It wasn’t intentional by any means”. True or not, I wish every player had the same mentality. You can’t let thoughts like that get in your head or you aren’t going to perform. As a side note: It looked pretty intentional to me but what do I know?
I don't think she's watched the replay from the other angle and CC will always play things down. She takes the high road and doesn't throw anyone under the bus. Hopefully she comes out strong and is able to knock down her shots. That's the best way to handle it... play hard, hit shots, thread the needle and win
It sounds as if Dunn is receptive to Kelly K's experience, including as to roster issues. Huge relief if that is so. I had had the impression she was primarily satisfied with the team as is. Great interviews all around. I could not be more proud of this team.
When will you start protecting Caitlin? If these things keep Happening she will be forced to retire with a career ending injury in less than 3 years. Wake up Christie Sides and teammates! You need to protect her or you will go back to 1700 people attandance like in 2022 and forget about flYing private. This whole League seems to be in denial who is paying your pay checks in 2026 and beyond....
Hey Caitlin. I did what you said and watched the play!! Now I know it was intentional!! Those curved clawed fingers prove it beyond a reasonable doubt. Caitlin knows it, reporters know it, and the world knows it.
Yes it was but CC has class and Respect. The WNBA can use her as a model for behavior that starts with Respect to players, Game, coaches and referees who really suck (38 years of coaching)... The League lacks Leadership from the top "Commissioner" and Adam Silver🥴😡🫤 Women on the Fever desperate of Smith are class act!!!
Great Effort ladies 🥰 For me, it was about defensive coaching; there was none. The players were not defending; they were all over the place at all the wrong times. Who is the defensive coach? They need to get to work. Watch the tapes and tell me I'm wrong.
FIRE CHRISTIE SIDES for FAILURE to stand up for her players being assaulted. She is a COWARD for failing to call out the REFS and the bullying/assaults.
Carrington karma. CC will never say anything negative about anyone in the WNBA but if you seen the latest video you will know the truth. Keep learning and growing Indiana Fever. 🌺🌺🌺🌺
Yeah, Aliyah has done some good media work in the past. Hope tomorrow is a better game. I'm thinking it'll be better. Coaches, refs, fans aren't on the floor. They'll have to play thru it, on the floor. Less time outs, and more raising to the moment. They'll mature as they do.
I’m just hoping there was no divide between the players against Smith ie being in a relationship with Carrington. C’mon Fever. Love listening to Mitchell! You got this 💙💛
I felt it was a little different. I feel like Lin will "retire" at the end of the season and Kelly will be able to handle both roles. She brings a helluva lot of experience throughout the front office. I think Sides is a foregone conclusion but that may be my hopeful self...
Go away. Christie Sides is why the team is in the playoffs. Lin Dunn is buddy buddy with the incoming President. Dunn has been in this business for 54 years. Thank Dunn came back and chose Christie Sides as Head Coach!
Catlin needs to get serious. She tends to let players get away with to much. And doesn't defend herself So the attacks aren't going to stop. Need to understand that!
I agree with Kelsey they are a special group. They have grown into a team that is fun to root for. Hopefully the core will be together for a few years.
I hope someday The Fever will come here in the Philippines. We are basketball crazy. Many NBA Superstars including Michael Jordan and a lot more came here. We have the biggest indoor arena in the World The Philippine Arena., With a capacity of 55,000 seats.
When you have a coach as incompetent as they have, winning is an up hill battle. I hope the coach is gone with the final game of the year. Fever does not play defense at all. Sides and Dunn need to go.
Hey coach, pretty please with sugar on top call a timeout before letting a team go on a huge run on your team. The minute your team looks confused and the other team are scoring unanswered points
The one who has matured and evolved over the season is not so much Caitlin, as Christy Sides herself, who has started to run Caitlin as Caitlin want to run game.
Look at her eye. Pathetic no foul was called. I hope Fever management called Cathy Engelbright . Refs always turn the other way when it's Caitlin. The new president better put the hammer down
@@braywyatt849 Anyone that has played a lot of basketball saw that claw go down real quick. It’s not a coincidence that the league stats have shown Clark receives the majority of all flagrant fouls.
Aliyah needs to focus on setting actual screens for CC and Mitchell. The bigs need to step it up. Sides forgot to challenge foul shots to the eye? Stephanie White is a dirty coach trying to maim CC and Hull and Boston.
🎯💯Also wrist pads, knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet. Oh, don't forget the fishnet stockings. This is more like roller derby. Not supporting gangsta WNBA. Every game is a HUGE POSSIBILITY Caitlin will be injured.
so instead of building a team and gain experience over time. dun wants to bring in old players. It makes no sense to me.. You are in the playoffs because of 1 young player. If you think anything else you should not be managing the t shirt stall. Young players got the fever to the playoffs. These young girls will have experience next season. I personally would build a young and fast team. Phase the older players out the squad over time and replace them with youth and let caitlin build a team around her of girls who will run throughh a wall for her. Also bring someone in who can be a enforcer.. too many nice girls. CC needs a enforcer. someone to bring off the bench and foul out on someone bullying CC and if needed will take a ban
I like how the camera is filming the opposite side to the eye! Intentional? Maybe, one thing about her she plays no victim ever..Blames nothing and no one..
It’s going to get worse if she keeps staying quiet. Look at the foul statistics…She has received almost 20% of all flagrant fouls. They will end up injuring her before it stops. No foul called on the eye poke is insane. Notice the commissioner says nothing
CC brings out the best in her enemies. Jealousy is what motivates the women of the WNBA. And they hate CC. All of the "stars" want to shine when they play her; Ionescu, Plum, Mabrey, Kennedy, etc. The WNBA is a league full of domestic violence victims and their perpetrators. She needs to play in Europe.
It’s going to be hilarious watching the ratings nosedive when they lose the playoffs and they don’t have anyone to bully. Nobody cares about these convicts.
We will see what our young Coach is made of tomorrow. Will Sides rise to the occasion or not? Your starting lineup alone will speak volumes. Do you belong in this position or not, we’re all watching. It’s not all about the players, it’s about you too. Take accountability!
She is the face of women's basketball and a fantastic role model. Too bad she plays in a thug league. I only started watching WNBA games because of her and I am shocked by the poor officiating, pettiness, jealousy and lack of sportsmanship from so many players. Do they not realize that without players like her, they will become insignificant again? Go Fever!
Regardless of how the season ends, the first thing they need to say is re-signing Kelsey Mitchell this offseason is the number 1 priority.
I agree with you. But trade Smith to Sparks for Hamby
that is so true they have to ????????
Finding a competent coach is the #1 priority, they're not going anywhere with Sides.
Absolutely!
@@RobotronOG I agree on re-signing Kelsey. They also need to swap away NaLyssa Smith and try to get Satou Sabally from the Wings to fill Smith's lineup spot
Kelsey is so likable! Luv this team♥️
Caitlin is such a special person and human being. Not calling out DijoNai was an act of kindness that will not be reciprocated. Best wishes to the Fever and 🤞 bringing this round back to Gainbridge. ♥
Agreed. Carrington clawed her eye on purpose and CC is taking the high road.
Coach Sides is supposed to call out fouls. CC will not play with a coach who can’t defend players.
Dijonai may back off a little with the hate after she saw that Caitlin tried to cool off the situation.
CC first word is like AAHHH... Kelsey Mitchell would say that at every start of her interview.. They are well bond together and pick up one another behavior.. I love that.
Keep the faith ladies and kick ass.
Lin, it wasnt your trades that did anything. It was the two #1 draft picks you got. In particular, that superstar 1st team All-WNBA rookie
Her one really good pick was Lexie Hull, who was a very under the radar prospect and surprise pick.
I really hope Aliyah gets to work as a college basketball analyst again this upcoming season. She's just terrific!
I hope she stays in shape. She was so out of shape at the bigging of this season. Maybe work on her vertical as well.
I saw a video of hers that was very interesting. I didn't know Aliyah was from the Virgin Islands and that was her dream. She is also a wonderful person and is already in a position to no longer need money.
And screening. @@TemT8
I hope.she stays in shape and keeps her skills up. I like her but she came back not ready at all!
Aliyah we’ll be fine she going be one of the great
Class act CC. They woke a monster. Looking forward to Fever game tonight.
Tomorrow
Fever game is tomorrow. One more day for the criminal eye-poke to heal.
The future is bright for this team !
Sit Nalyssa.
Conflict of interest! Unprofessional such is the reputation of the league, unfortunately!!
Aliyah Boston is such a pro at these interviews! I think she should do the interviewing! Or... maybe make room on the board of directors. 💪
One thing that stands out is she didn’t once blame anyone and spoke exactly how you want a franchise player to respond
They will keep hitting her with the flagrant fouls until she speaks up for herself. Im starting to blame her at this point for allowing it. Dirtiest league of sports i have ever seen
Caitlyn has class. Carrington doesn’t.
@@vacantSuburbia I agree with you, but…..I think she knows that she can’t blow up and call out how bad this league is. Sponsors look down on negativity, I’m sure.

Win or lose the Fever made an incredible run since 2016. The Fever will always and still be the HOTTEST team in W .
CC coded " Just look at the film" . ...it was totally unintentional" ...wink 😏wink We got you CC , we SAW it. Go get them girl.
There you have it: “It wasn’t intentional by any means”. True or not, I wish every player had the same mentality. You can’t let thoughts like that get in your head or you aren’t going to perform.

She know it’s intentional that’s why she retaliated during the game Caitlin just media trained she talk like she been playing for years
She'll always give others grace even if they don't deserve it
We all know it was intentional. Caitlin just taking the high road
Because she is the consummate PROFESSIONAL 🤦♀️
Let's go fever
Aliyah keeps her cards close, doesn't give loose talk. She knows the media game
Aliyah has class. She is a truly good person.
WAIVE SMITH BEFORE GAME 2! Send the message you don't F with the FEVER!
Chrissy sides your team is very talented. Do something with it
She's doing her best against a team that could win the championship.
Unfortunately she is in over her head🥴🤕
It sounds as if Dunn is receptive to Kelly K's experience, including as to roster issues. Huge relief if that is so. I had had the impression she was primarily satisfied with the team as is. Great interviews all around. I could not be more proud of this team.

Need to get Kelsey open shots. We got this.

*separate, not desperate Auto correct Dumb🤕
No matter what.... I still love the fever!!! 😁👌👌👌🙏
Absolutely!
Absolutely
When a winner speaks, listen. A challenge is an opportunity to get better.
Once they get out out the playoffs, ratings go down. People are tired of the focused violence
CC will take the court with safety glasses this next game.
She needs football equipment, going against these wnba teams
Great Effort ladies 🥰
For me, it was about defensive coaching; there was none. The players were not defending; they were all over the place at all the wrong times.
Who is the defensive coach? They need to get to work. Watch the tapes and tell me I'm wrong.
So right!
FIRE CHRISTIE SIDES for FAILURE to stand up for her players being assaulted. She is a COWARD for failing to call out the REFS and the bullying/assaults.
i feel like her shiner is being "hid" (more like avoided) Go CC, Aliyah Boston, Kelsey Mitchell, Lexie Hull and the whole fever team!!
Carrington karma. CC will never say anything negative about anyone in the WNBA but if you seen the latest video you will know the truth. Keep learning and growing Indiana Fever. 🌺🌺🌺🌺
now that is how to rebuke a reporter - with gentleness, logic and compassion. kelsey is such a pro both on and off the court
Yeah, Aliyah has done some good media work in the past. Hope tomorrow is a better game. I'm thinking it'll be better. Coaches, refs, fans aren't on the floor. They'll have to play thru it, on the floor. Less time outs, and more raising to the moment. They'll mature as they do.
No black eye questions, no black eye questions? Anyone anyone.
Did you watch the video? Watch it again. She said she’s fine.
exactly
I’m just hoping there was no divide between the players against Smith ie being in a relationship with Carrington. C’mon Fever. Love listening to Mitchell! You got this 💙💛
But if your lover is on the other side I think one of you should sit the bench. That is not going to work playing against each other.
That president better make some power moves. Lin Dunn acting like theyre buddy buddy. I hope she at least brings in a new coach
I felt it was a little different. I feel like Lin will "retire" at the end of the season and Kelly will be able to handle both roles. She brings a helluva lot of experience throughout the front office. I think Sides is a foregone conclusion but that may be my hopeful self...
Go away. Christie Sides is why the team is in the playoffs. Lin Dunn is buddy buddy with the incoming President. Dunn has been in this business for 54 years. Thank Dunn came back and chose Christie Sides as Head Coach!
Im a sky fan but im glad CC eye look great.👍🏿
Catlin needs to get serious.
She tends to let players get away with to much.
And doesn't defend herself
So the attacks aren't going to stop.
Need to understand that!
Fire sides
Its great to be a live
Caitlin clark is not showing that eye
There are other angles from this session that show the other eye.
Looks like make up was covering some of the bruising.
Family legends
Caitlyn , she does not get too excited nor should she, she done enough this year. If they lose, she'll just go home and count her $.
Clark needs to wear a Georgia bulldog helmet this next game. That would be 🔥 🔥. 😂
Clark isn’t going to feed into the outside noise even if she did think it was intentional, I think she’s going to come out ballin tomorrow night 🔥
This is just a dream. What if the league had the same valves as CC? I would advertise the league and respect it’s players. What a dream!
As it should be amen
Keep your eyes 👀 on the prize
lets do it for Kelsey............. ( outsiders reference)
Kelsey Mitchell is so easy to pull for.
Love Aliyah and the fever keep yall head up ball out tomorrow
I agree with Kelsey they are a special group. They have grown into a team that is fun to root for. Hopefully the core will be together for a few years.
I hope someday The Fever will come here in the Philippines. We are basketball crazy. Many NBA Superstars including Michael Jordan and a lot more came here. We have the biggest indoor arena in the World The Philippine Arena., With a capacity of 55,000 seats.
When you have a coach as incompetent as they have, winning is an up hill battle. I hope the coach is gone with the final game of the year. Fever does not play defense at all. Sides and Dunn need to go.
Unfortunately I have a feeling she will be given a raise instead :(
@@Rbb0828 This is one viewer who will not watch another game with her on the bench!
Hey coach, pretty please with sugar on top call a timeout before letting a team go on a huge run on your team. The minute your team looks confused and the other team are scoring unanswered points
Bench nalyssa her lover is on the opposing team
Please, this is really disrespectful in every human way. She needs to be a Professional, leave personal Personal.
Let's go Fever
Whose eyes will Carrington be allowed to poke out during the next game?
🎯🎯🎯🎯💯💯💯💯
Its time to fire it up for sure
SCREEN YOUR TEAMATES AND GUARD!
Love Kelsy Mitchell!+!!!
If Carrington takes the court my TV is off.
Of course she will. She’s one of their most important players.
Practices are life🎉and gens
Put ketchup on pressure
Just like that I have new family . Let's Go Fever ❤️🔥
🏀🔥💗FEVER
Win or lose I love this team! ❤
My son that served doesn't do drugs ❤
The one who has matured and evolved over the season is not so much Caitlin, as Christy Sides herself, who has started to run Caitlin as Caitlin want to run game.
Oh my goodness. Fever has the support it has this year because of one person. When WNBA realizes that THEN it will be a better leaugue@
Ironclad CC
Look at her eye. Pathetic no foul was called. I hope Fever management called Cathy Engelbright . Refs always turn the other way when it's Caitlin. The new president better put the hammer down
Caitlin either playing nice. Or she just naive. That eye poke was intentional. 💯
Stop making it out what it's not
@@braywyatt849 Anyone that has played a lot of basketball saw that claw go down real quick. It’s not a coincidence that the league stats have shown Clark receives the majority of all flagrant fouls.
The way she answered was denial. She knows it was bad but she avoids confrontation. It will only get worse if she doesn’t stick up for herself
@vacantSuburbia
Hate to say it but true. Sometimes you just have to put that b*tech hat on!
Aliyah needs to focus on setting actual screens for CC and Mitchell. The bigs need to step it up. Sides forgot to challenge foul shots to the eye? Stephanie White is a dirty coach trying to maim CC and Hull and Boston.
Get a set of Goggles and a Gumshield Caitlin incase there are anymore accidental eye gouge attempts.
🎯💯Also wrist pads, knee pads, elbow pads and a helmet. Oh, don't forget the fishnet stockings. This is more like roller derby. Not supporting gangsta WNBA. Every game is a HUGE POSSIBILITY Caitlin will be injured.
Lynn done your old ways not gonna go anywhere
Her old ways got the Fever in the Playoffs with the help of Christie Sides!
@@bristolguy8739 no CC and some of the fever players did that
You can tell she's down a little.
Scouting of America was good
Safety first
All players starting should come out to start the game in goggles😂😂😂
That would be awesome lol🤣😂🤣
That would speak volumes.
A mike or kob🎉presentation today, too and beyond

aB nalyssa set solid picks for CC22 and KM no hero ball
Obviously CC is either lieing or she didn’t see the other angle. It was obviously blatantly intentionally and disgusting!
Caitlin always takes the higher road yet, the Fever team abandoned her by not fighting for her.!!!
Sides and Dunn. ?
I like how the camera is filming the opposite side to the eye! Intentional? Maybe, one thing about her she plays no victim ever..Blames nothing and no one..
I love this about her. She doesn't give anyone power over her.
It’s going to get worse if she keeps staying quiet. Look at the foul statistics…She has received almost 20% of all flagrant fouls. They will end up injuring her before it stops. No foul called on the eye poke is insane. Notice the commissioner says nothing
Will liz Cambridge play for Lynn
I have nothing to say
aB u have all summer focus on the game
Lack inside toughness somebody needs to learn how to jump.
The Evil that Men Do Lives after them . The Good is Oft Interred in the Bones.
Please bring in a new coach and demote sides. Keep her around but not as head coach.

Technology AI in practices
For the live of god work on perimeter defense.
All WNBA teams need to recruit some eye pokers, doesn’t Sides want to win?
She is the face of women's basketball and a fantastic role model. Too bad she plays in a thug league. I only started watching WNBA games because of her and I am shocked by the poor officiating, pettiness, jealousy and lack of sportsmanship from so many players.
